Build a Jewelry Box: Pt.1 - Making the curved sides

How to build a wood jewelry box. I used maple, walnut and cherry for this project. In part 1 of 7, I cut the coved sides on a table saw.

Yeah u can use a machine to sand it it's called a belt sander dumbass

[stevinmarin]

@D3ADLYSNIPER666 Wow, you're a friendly kind of guy, huh?

[holt724]

wonder what the chances are this guy will have all his fingers and thumbs if he keeps this up. Seems insanely unsafe way to cut a cove and he never uses a push block!

[stevinmarin]

@holt724 Keep wishing!

so...i made the box for my wife for our 3rd anniversary. made it with maple and purple heart, looks amazing. didnt "copy" your plan, just took notes and made my own. thanks so much for the inspiration, my wife loves it!

[stevinmarin]

@DougFnDrake Sounds great! I love purpleheart.

your the most dangerous woodworker i have ever seen

[castelan05]

Do you know how to make a jewelry armoire?

[sumbook]

wow.... Steve... love the long hair ... those were the good old days I guess :D ...

I think you already started using push sticks these days... stay safe man..

[sawdustjohnpa]

@bashfullashley most of the professional woodworkers i've seen have removed safety devices from their machines for the sake of showing how things work. granted, push sticks should be in every wood shop and should be used. and i look scary in the shop, so that doesn't mean much.

[madchild0709]

is there a way to make a box like this without a table saw?

[bashfullashley]

@sawdustjohnpa He may make nice boxes and I know this is a common method for cove cuts, It is the lack of making the cut with proper safety methods that make him a joke to produce an educational video. A simple push stick would have curtailed all the negative comments, any truly good or professional woodworker knows you never put yourself in a position where your fingers are this close to a table saw's running blade. If something looks scary in the shop it's most likely the wrong way.

[sawdustjohnpa]

this guy does nice work and seems to still have all his fingers. so apparently he knows what he's doing. nobody is perfect but you can learn something from everyone.

[sawdustjohnpa]

@bashfullashley woodworkers have been making cove cuts like this on a table saw for years. if done correctly it's a quick and safe way to do it. looks scary but can be done safely.

If you don't mind me asking , what are the dimensions of the lumber you used for the curved sides?

[cpdeland1]

you cant get a belt sander to do do complex profiles... though a curve is not complex, a belt sander would gouge while youre rolling it inside the curve
